How Cleaning Up Can Be Life Changing -- A Book Review

I love the stark lines of these giants of my yard. 

It didn't surprise me that I was a bit behind in discovering the latest book craze, written by a Japanese organizer who doesn't even speak English. In my life, I always tend to be a bit behind on the trends, if I ever notice them at all. 

The book was published in October of last year, was a #1 New York Times bestseller, has spawned Facebook groups about it, and is still currently #3 in Amazon books. 

Sixteen Ideas for Organizing a Small Kitchen

16 Ideas for \Organizing A Small Kitchen

Hello everyone! I hope you are having a wonderful Easter weekend. It is now Sunday evening, and I am feeling truly refreshed, from a luxurious Spring Break. My husband booked some time, off, too, and we truly enjoyed our little house in the woods, and allowed ourselves some time to simply "be."

Woohoo!

Well, last night I got the bedroom done! It looks beautiful, and freshly decorated ... like a completely different room! And, it was all decorated with stuff I found while decluttering! Ha, ha ... yet another advantage to decluttering ... finding tons of stuff!

My husband loved it, too, and we had such a wonderful sleep in our cozy, romantic bedroom. I feel good that I met my goal ... to have things in order before I went back to work. We both spent all day Monday "labouring" in the house ... and it's great. We have about 10 or more garbage bags full of stuff that we purged ... ready to go out, when we can borrow the truck.

And I did feel so much better today, knowing that my bedroom was so peaceful and organized at home. And the rest of the house is not far behind. It feels so good ... !!!!!

Well, I have to run to get back to work tonight. Adios!!!
